Anyone who insists that robots and automation will replace blue collar work have clearly never either been around robots and automation OR blue collar production work.

Have seen a lot of people who apparently think factory automation means a cartoon-like big robot machine that eats raw material and spits out finished product with no further human input, instead of the more common form where production is broken down into a step by step process of forming components from raw material and separately assembling those components into finished product, where each step could technically be performed by hand but has a dedicated machine set up to repeatably do just that one step.
Even the ones that do complex processes all in one go like stamping out beverage cans or folding milk cartons, it's just combining steps - a worker still has to operate the thing and feed it material, it's not set and forget.

I know progs are delusional but did they seriously expect the Supreme Court to agree to cede their own power to the lower courts?

That would never happen.

I know it cost similar, it’s success was used to justify the budget of a billion flops because a lot of producers are quality blind.

Terminator 2 pushed CGI to new heights while mixing in top tier practical effects. Snow White was just a giant fucking mistake

So what I’m saying is the budget isn’t necessarily bad, it’s the people spending it

also T2 picked its battles extremely well
like all those amazing shots where it's the same person looking at themselves?
you notice how outside of Linda Hamilton the actors area basically all Literally Who? that's because they're all identical twin actors (as is Linda Hamilton and her twin who worked as a stuntwoman)
CG can do big simple shapes with shiny nonspecific "metal", and awkwardly slow morphing effects?
Guess what we just decided the T-1000's powers are?
 
I love this image. You could put it in a textbook as use it in a lesson plan, or just hand it to someone and immediately figure out their IQ. It's the closest thing I have found to the infamous breakfast question when it comes to figuring out an individual's political acumen.

This explanation is not quite wrong, but a bit hyperbolic. It's literally just 懂 （Understand）王（King）. The normal (but still non-standard) transliteration is 川普, Chuanpu, which doesn't really mean anything, but is easier to pronounce and closer to English pronunciation than the conventional/official transliteration.

The tooling was great for a human to use. Amazing, actually. But each part needed to be assembled within .010-.020 of it's location in space every time in order for it to work properly. And the best the final sub assemblies and the tooling that held them together could hold was .060. 1/4 of a million and we had to have a team of people clean up after this thing all day, every day in order to ship product rather than just doing it with that team of people from start to finish.

It feels good to know that humans can reach 10-20 thousandths regularly, enough to meet production goals, while a purpose-built machine can only reach minimally 60 thousandths.

Humans are fucking amazing lmao

A good example for non-manufacturing autists who like army shit is an auto loader in a tank. You automate one step at a time, and usually the one that poses the biggest hardship or risk of injury if done manually

@MerelyAPlateOfSpaghetti

0.010 is a country mile. I haven’t built cars, but I’ve been in manufacturing for over 20 years and never worked with a tolerance that big

When i was in tool and die making, 0.0002 was a normal tolerance

am i reading this correctly, that even the diversity hire on the bench, KBJ, would have refused this?

Jackson, Sotomayor voted to enforce the lower court ruling forcing Trump to rehire everyone. Everyone else voted against, and put a stay on the order.
 
I saw this comparison and something stood out:

Trump's office is much better both in terms of lighting and gold accents making it old, yet powerfuil/dignified. But notice how the gay little escape room door that looks like something Mr. Bean did in his apartment is covered up by paintings? That's a subconcious level of trust and transparency, Luffy doesn't have to run or hide or funnel kids off to the adrenochrome labs below, he just sits there and eats meat and drinks Diet Coke.

oh, okay. so the two retards did vote for the retarded thing, i should've known. KJB is the worst justice to ever disgrace the bench in my opinion, and sotomeyer is close behind.
